Abstract: A wind powered air/water interface craft disposed in a mechanically simple configuration(s) with means for trimming and/or adjusting the area of the various air and water foil elements either independently or together or both. All of its structural elements are useful as lifting or-driving surfaces or buoyant elements thereby minimizing parasitic drag and conflicting forces. In some configurations, free flight is also possible for brief periods of time or for longer periods in conditions where dynamic soaring is possible. The rig is able to develop vertical lift before necessarily having forward motion. Although similar in some configurations to a windsurfer, its operation is not dependent on the strength of the human operator, so that it has the capacity for power and payload greater than the strength and weight of the operator. The triangle rig configuration of the invention may develop vertical lift, but may in some instances use vertical lift only to enhance dynamic stability of a displacement craft. A wide beam single hull ship uses triangle rig sails to augment the ship's engines.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake disk/hub assembly for vehicle disk brakes comprising a hub and a brake disk, which is arranged thereon in a manner that prevents it from turning. The brake disk is arranged in the axial direction of the hub in such a manner that it can be axially displaced against an elastic pretensioning exerted by a number of spring elements. To this end, each spring element has a retaining section by means of which it is fixed to the hub. Each spring element also comprises at least one spring section, which rests against at least one assigned intermediate element that is essentially arranged between the hub and the brake disk. The inventive design is advantageous by virtue of the fact that the spring elements are not in direct contact with the brake disk thereby effectively preventing the spring elements from becoming thermally overloaded. The functional reliability of the spring elements can thus be maintained over a long period of time.

Abstract: The read latency caused by job start preparation of a future job is at least partly hidden within the current job by reading information for job start preparation of the future job integrated with the execution of the current job. Instructions for job start preparation are preferably instrumented (701) into the current job and executed (702), whenever possible, in parallel with the instructions of the current job. The integrated job start preparation may include table look-ups, register file updating, instruction fetching and preparation. If the scheduled job order is allowed to change during execution, it is typically necessary to test (703) whether the next job is still valid before starting the execution, it is typically necessary to test (703) whether the next job is still valid before starting the execution of the next job and take appropriate actions (704; 705, 706) depending on the outcome of the test. In addition to reduced job start preparation time, unused slots in the instruction-parallel execution of the current job may be filled up by the added read instructions, thus providing more efficient utilization of the multiple functional execution units of the processor.
